Roy Moore has accused his own party's leadership of a "plot" against him after being told to back down from his Senate campaign.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that Moore "should step aside" on Monday, four days after the first report where Leigh Corfman said that the then 32-year-old molested her at his Alabama home in 1979.

Another accuser who says that Moore assaulted her as a minor is scheduled to have a press conference Monday afternoon, according to lawyer Gloria Allred.

Moore has denied any wrongdoing and said that he did "not generally" date women in their teens during the late 1970s but "dated a lot of young ladies" at the time.

His strategy in dealing with the attacks has been to label them as a coordinated attack on his campaign, lashing out at perceived political opponents in the media and on Capitol Hill.

An email sent to supporters Monday said that McConnell, a senator from Kentucky, had a "plot to destroy me."

"According to sources, establishment Republicans are colluding with the Obama-Clinton Machine behind-the-scenes in a desparate effort to sabotage my campaign and keep me out of Washington."

McConnell had previously said that Moore should step aside if the allegations were true, part of a wave of Republican lawmakers who qualified their condemnations by implicitly questioning the women's accounts.

But he told reporters Monday that he believes Corfman and three other women who told the Washington Post that the future Senate candidate pursued them when they were in their late teens.

Other GOP members, such as Sen. John McCain and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said previously that Moore should end his campaign immediately.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins, part of the Republican Party's more moderate wing, also said Monday that the scandal should be the end of the road for her would-be colleague.

She echoed logic from Pennsylavania's Sen. Pat Toomey and South Carolina's Sen. Tim Scott, saying that she did not find Moore's denials to be convincing.

Moore, a former judge, has long relied on the support of hardcore conservatives, and defeated the McConnell- and President Trump-backed Luther Strange in a primary for Attorney General Jeff Sessions' old seat.

He also suggested this weekend that he could sue the Washington Post over the story, though it was unclear on what grounds he would do so.

His wife Kayla Moore also spread claims on Monday that those who came forward were paid in some way.

"Going on two months now they've been on a witchhunt here in Etowah County and our state advertising people to step forward with accusations and we are gathering evidence of money being paid to people who would come forward. Which is part of why we are filing suit!" she posted.

Her accusations made reference to the "Washington establishment and Democratic Party" but did not contain details about any alleged payment scheme.

A poll released Sunday by JMC Analytics and Polling said that Moore's once sizable lead over Democrat attorney Doug Jones had evaporated into a deficit, though the results were within the margin of error.
